In general I like working with Ranorex quite much, as it is in general easy to use and easy to integrate via the API into your own project. The support is excellent and updates are frequent enough, but not obnoxiously often. I strongly recommend it! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like the fact that it offers a very good API, with which one can write his own software to use the Ranorex testing capabilities. The studio itself is very good too, though our needs are not entirely met (internal reasons), which is why the API came in very handy. #### Cons Sometimes it has troubles with certain browsers and recognizing them, even with the appropriate plugins (firefox), though all problems were solvable in the end. The API documentation is hard to find and could be improved. --- ### Easy to use and ROI is high - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ashok G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Overall great experience. I had not heard about Ranorex until I started my new position. It has good support for many technologies. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Ranorex does exactly what I need it to do. Having c# as the programming language has made it possible for us to integrate Ranorex with our own test automation framework. I have successfully used Ranorex to primarily test Qt, WPF, and Html. Ranorex Magic Merger for git has been superb. Saved me a lot of time trying to merge large XML files. #### Cons Lack of support for newer versions of c# --- ### I have been using Ranorex since 3 years for functional and Mobile automation. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Deepak S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall it is a good ROI tool. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Simplicity and Ease to use are the most important feature. Beside this, finding element through RenorexSpy is an excellent tool. #### Cons The mobile automation setup is a complex process, specially for ios. Instrumentation takes lot of time. --- ### Very Good Automation Tool! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Shantanu K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. With my personal experience, Ranorex support team is really great. We were facing issues while automating one of the thin client applications at YRC. We explored lot of software including HP UFT, Smartbear TestComplete, but we were unable to track elements for our application. Ranorex engineers developed a new plugin for us which solved our problem and we completed automating that thin client application. It is really good experience working with Ranorex! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ranorex is easy to use. Not much learning is needed. And it supports desktop, web as well as mobile platforms which is the best thing. So once you buy Ranorex, you are all set for any kind of automation testing for your organization. #### Cons The one thing they can definitely improve is storing elements repository. Sometimes, while recording/ tracking elements, new elements overrides old ones or attaches to some parent folder which is not appropriate. So, if we use those elements in some other section, the script will fail. And also, they can improve for android automation. --- ### Best Automation Testing Tool...

I am existing user with QTP, But after Ranorex.. I fell in in love towards with Bravo Team .. Looking further more in future.. #### Cons One hard thing is ,Horizontal scrolling of mouse capturing is still a problem with mine lets hope it finishes soon it a Telerik control window.. that's may be the issue. --- ### Ranorex has been fairly easy to learn even without any programming experience. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jason S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It did save us time and found regression issues on multiple occasions without us having to manually test and maybe miss the issues. #### Cons It is a bit pricey, but because it doesn't require detailed programming skills, necessarily (though you can enhance it with your own code), it is worth it to us. --- ### Capable and Flexible - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, Ranorex provided my team with a great start. We plan to code around Ranorex in the future as the license agreement isn't flexible enough to provide the volume we require for a reasonable price. If you don't intend to run more than 50-100 parallel tests, and you have skilled developers to code the tests, then Ranorex is a fine solution. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Ranorex provides a flexible base for any automation effort. The record and play features provide just enough functionality to get a team going; while the code module functionality provides the ability to create efficient and robust automation. #### Cons In order to execute tests in parallel, we had to develop a VM farm and controller system. There are many solutions in the open ware market to handle this and could be offered as part of the Ranorex system. --- ### Quick and easy to use - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Richard B. - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Used for regression testing common business process; automating repetitive tasks e.g. password validation; cross browser testing. But licences expensive. Would stick with Selenium if you already have framework in place. Ranorex would be useful if starting from scratch as much faster to build tests than Selenium especially if your web site is built on iframes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Test suites can be put together vey quickly using record feature and organised logically using smart folders. Ranorex Spy very useful for creating paths to elements. Easy to add additional code and Ranorex helpers provided for common procedures. White List feature can be used to only include the required processes which avoids interruptions during playback. Ranorex Agents can be installed in remote machines for parallel running (need runtime licence for each active Agent). New features and improvements being added all the time. I have only used the web testing part so far so cannot comment on mobile or desktop support. #### Cons Integrates with Selenium but the number of parallel tests is restricted to the number of Ranorex licences you have which excludes one of the main features of Selenium. No graphic representation of modules and workflow as exists in other products e.g. HP UFT. Does crash occasionally.during record sessions apparently due to McAfee.

It really solved two big problems for us - introducing automated testing to an otherwise manual testing QA division, and allowing us to test an application that didn't place *nice* with the Windows environment - that is - allowing easy identification of forms, labels and text within the application. We need something that could record visually. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros What I like most about Ranorex was the entry point for me as a beginner.
